It may look/sound really glamorous ('Actually I'm a doctor ....';) but the real breakthroughs in terms of healthcare/medicine (cancer, SARS and a thousand other conditions) are being made by medical scientists. In many ways they are more valuable in terms of 'helping people' than doctors. It certainly isnt some sort of second-class career.
Go to some Open Days and listen to the subject talks for Biomed, Biochem, Neuroscience, Chem Pharm etc etc. You'll be surprised.
Yeah I see your point :) Okay, will do - thanks
